DRK DPS(Question)

[Blitzace]

Don't worry, this is not another complain thread! I'm just here to ask some tips /pointers for my DRK

So, Hi there!

Currently i'm IL181 mixed STR/VIT right side, or full STR(Depending on the fight and healer)

So my DPS currently after a few runs ( was doing A1 for weekly loot and decided to check it out =P ) Is around 600-750.
Is this oke? average, is it bad? So far i've kept up decently with other DPS people and i've been blown out of the water by a DRG That went a wopping 1200+ DPS which was very nice to have in my PT! But to the point.

My rotation,

Hard Slash -> Spinning Slash - Power Slash, To get the hate buzzing up.

Scourge -> Dark Passenger -> hard slash -> Sypon strike -> Either DA+SA or Deli. And then just repeat while keeping Scourge up.

Haven't really looked up a perfect rotation yet as i usually just do what ever feels that works for me, Just curious about inputs people have and weither or not i'm doing alright

PS

This is obviously on single mobs and boss fight talking Just curious!

Alex one is a pretty poor metric for dps, since the worse the group is the shittier everyone's dps is. The more jumps, the worse it is for everyone.

That said, it sounds like you're probably doing alright! If you're near or at the lower end of the dps players, as long as they're somewhat competent, then you're doing enough damage. If you're at the top of a pug group, that probably means you're doing a great job, or you had some pretty horrible pugs.

Yeah i think so Never had a DPS Class myself(Have some leveled but never really did dungerons with em) So its kinda hard for me to judge what is good for a DPS and what isn't but there are certainly some people i've seen that make me go like "wow" thats some sick DMG he's dealing right there x)

So with DRK, during your opener you want to be using two oGCD skills in between GCDs. As OT my opener looks something like this:

Dark Arts > Unmend (Plunge) > Scourge (Salted Earth + Carve and Spit) > Hard Slash (Blood Weapon + Dark Passenger) > Syphon Strike (Dark Arts + Low Blow) > Souleater

From there I continue into Delirium, maintaining Scourge as well, and using oGCD abilities as they come off cooldown. For MT my opener looks like this:

Dark Arts > Unmend (Plunge) > Scourge (Salted Earth + Carve and Spit) > Hard Slash (Dark Dance + Dark Passenger) > Syphon Strike (Dark Arts + Low Blow) > Souleater.

The only difference is Dark Dance in place of Blood Weapon. This is done to ensure that you will have your Reprisal proc at the beginning of the fight. With this MT rotation, you can easily pull 700 dps and even more once you get gear. For the OT rotation you're looking at 850+ DPS with your current gear. These numbers will increase even more once you get your Eso weapon.
